Hometown pride - Day 36

Minneapolis is a great town. I know probably a dozen people who moved away in their early 20s, and without exception, the ones who haven't moved back are planning it.

There are dozens of places for good Vietnamese food, the cops don't really mind if you drink in the parks, so long as you're discreet, the streets are clean and the panhandlers are at least courteous when they're not colorful.

Also, you can't swing a dead cat in this town without hitting a cute girl. Though, for the record, I can't recommend it as a method for finding them, because even when it works, I doubt any of them would want to go out with a guy who hit them with a dead cat.

People occasionally ask me why I don't like travel. Aside from the inconveniences of actually getting to the places people seem to want to visit, it just seems like being bored with here would take a tremendous lack of imagination. You haven't been to all the museums in Minneapolis, and neither have I. Or maybe you have, but have you read all the plaques? (I'm mostly joking about that one, please don't make me wait while you read all the plaques.) But, you want to buy a meal from a guy who doesn't speak English? Tell me when; I'll buy.

I guess St. Paul is probably fine too, or whatever. If you have any evidence of it, I'm willing to listen.

I'm Dan. I'm probably free this Friday.
